I'll be up tomorrow morning and sat/sun....gotta go the blue way expect nothing and you have a chance to be politely surprised.

Went to Highlands today for the first time. Wow, the snow was fantastic!! I went with my neighbor who is in his early 70’s with a nice beer belly and doesn’t look like he is athletic. This guy can fucking ski! He still does races in Vail and Beaver Creek. He has been skiing Highlands for 50 years and knows every inch of the place. He gave me a very nice tour. There was nobody there, I mean at all. He definitely pushed me for day #3 on the snow. We started on Exhibition lift and did 2 off there, then moved over to Cloud 9 lift and did a bunch off of that lift. He wanted to take me to Thunder Bowl but it was closed. last run of the day we went to the top (of the lift, obviously not the bowl) pics from the top the next ridge is Highland Bowl. I didn’t feel like I could take many pictures while we were skiing, since he is from a different generation and just doesn’t do that. He showed me picnic point and I took a pic there, really pretty view of the bells I realized why my legs were so tired (even after some midway stops) when we got to the bottom. I looked up the trail map and it’s 3600’ of vert top to bottom. Very solid day for me.

Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Nice to see them still cranking the guns at 11:15 this morning... longer than I anticipated.

going a little colder after Christmas. hope it keeps up. we really need a sustained cold though.

Standard iphone app which is weather.com i believe, says 38. Accuweather says 39. Weather bug 39. So, it looks pretty clear its above freezing. Applauding the effort for sure, but they have to be making some low quality gak right about now. better new is it looks like temps drop real quick as the sun sets.

They still have the fan guns on, you can see the rainbow being generated on the Vista cam. Mad props for trying it's gotta be near 40 there.

Looks like the park will remain on Barbs way and we get a fresh build with the first jump of the season! So I guess we can assume upper mountain snowmaking efforts main street side may have went to Upper Main or potentially Lazy Mile rather than Come Around.

high Dins, low expectations.

Saturday am. I’m working Friday ☹️. Hopefully they’ll have more terrain open.

Maybe tomorrow morning (for sure tomorrow night) and both weekend days.

paradise sounds like a lock but i dont trust anything i hear anymore maybe just sunday for me

Yes

They made some fast grass last night but I'm still hopeful for upper or something. Just throw up some lollipops and let it rip.... still major props for having the guns on they can't be getting much if anything now

This is interesting. I dont really get how its scored, but the food is good.

Wild ride...

It appears The Camel will be opening with mostly its famous and technical mad horizontal trails. Marjies looks ready also. Doesnt look like much of anything Hotel side.

Hey All, It’s almost another weekend, Blue mountain has their third opening day tomorrow. Is anybody planning on skiing Friday and or this weekend? Looks like mild weather Friday and Saturday and maybe some non frozen precipitation on Sunday..should be grate.

That’s not terrible, King Tut and Hump from the top. Surprised some of the other stuff isn’t on the list

I had to watch that video when I was 16 lol

One time for alien pass day I had to give my address and phone number for guest services free pass and I said 123 mocking bird lane and my phone number was 555-5555. After ski patrol detained me and my friend Nate back in 1996 for poaching some pow pow, things have never been the same. The safety video we watched was rad @theprogram4 is was like some Susie chapstick straight from the 80s after school special shiznit up on the mountain was like chamonix and down by the tannersville outlets was like Allentown..at least when auntie Anne’s opened up in the food court. @saltyant don’t your boots have walk mode?? Maybe get some yak traks and while you’re at it buy a Fanny flap for those moist days.. @indiggio can tell you where to find one. Makes sense if free shipping over a certain amount.

This deal keeps getting worse. Now I have to waste time at guest services, AND walk up and down steps in ski boots all season long??

Based on the latest drone footage they posted a few hours ago, I would day Paradise and Coming Soon are a lock, unless it's a lot thinner than it looks. Obviously hard to judge depth from a drone flyover. It looks like Upper Main didn't get the love. Maybe they needed the water for the sticks on tubing 3.

I’m expecting some craptastic conditions tomorrow AM..

They're still rocking some of the stick guns too. On the tubing cam you can see the sticks going on the far slope, and you can see that there's snow being made up on Paradise, at the top of the cam. Not sure if they have a fan or two at the Paradise/DW intersection that might be coming from though . . .

Was thinking the same.

I agree and would prefer the park higher up so your legs are still fresh dropping in but I'll take anything they can give us! 🤘

Judging by the rollers on the tubbing cam, they might have gotten some pretty decent production.

Definitely Friday, probably Saturday & Sunday!

Can you call them and as them about upper main as well?

Thinking about tomorrow morning since I’m out Sat and Sun. Is it a 9 am opening?

Tomorrow morning for sure. Saturday is up in the air as I'm headed south to J Town. Sunday at some point

Read the article. Is it just a detachable quad? Failing to see what is so special or 'first-of-its-kind'

Last time I was at CamelBack (or CB as locals call it) was 2015. I punched a french person in the face and broke my pinky finger. It's still crooked cuz it healed weird I can show you sometime.

Possibly next weekend. Kicking myself for being in PA this weekend and not bringing any of my equipment with me.

King tut born in Arizona moved to babalona king tut

Darn it, so same as opening day tomorrow?

What are you talking about! Joe Cool shreds harder than me and Joe Camel.

@saltyant meet @DiMe

If your in with Joe like me he'll come get ya in The Camel cart.

That's the rules we gotta play by. Besides even if Blue could add The Camel to your pass remotely you still have to get your seasons parking pass or be subject to the $12 fee for the pesant lots or $50 for VIP where you only have to go up one stairset or hill, skier/riders choice.

I see you haven’t changed lol

It's interesting that they seem to have made snow on Cliffhanger, but nothing at the base by the indoor waterpark lift:
